Maruia River Retreat

How do we strike the balance in our busy world and take time to replenish?

On this Wellness Retreat, you will find time for yourself to slow down and gain tools to nourish yourself.

Join Joan Hyman in a four-night immersive personal retreat experience and learn tools to help you cultivate a healthy routine and embody the practices of yoga and Ayurveda.

The daily morning classes will explore pranayama techniques which help you anchor the mind into the body and regulate your nervous system. A balanced nervous system is the key to health and well-being. When we are calm, we elicit the healing state known as rest and digest, helping us to feel balanced and relaxed physically and mentally. This is where true healing can occur.
